The Super Mario Bros. Redux (Pt. 6)

What would happen if, in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, after Mario and Luigi are separated, Mario was the one who ended up in the clutches of Luigi’s eventual arch nemesis, while Luigi teamed up with some of his own close allies to go rescue him? (This part of the story is in one shot format. Most other parts are written in bullet points.)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 ________

A short summary of the things Luigi had done in the past twenty four hours that he had never expected to do in his entire life:

Fall into an interdimensional wormhole. Fight a warrior princess in a crowded arena. Become a royally acclaimed ghost hunter. Enlist in an army assembled to ambush the territory ruled by The King of Ghosts in order to rescue hostages and bring balance to the afterlife. Adopt a dog.

... Though it was more accurate to say the dog adopted him. Normally Luigi had trouble with animals– he could never read their body language, and his clumsiness made for bad first impressions. The few animals he got along with in the past were old and quiet, wanting nothing more than a warm lap on which to lay their head. Polterpup was different; playful and energetic, mischievous yet patient. Luigi couldn’t help but wonder what was the reason behind the attachment– if he himself resembled an old master or friend from the dog’s past life before it became a ghost. It still wore a collar, though the little golden loop on the front had no tag. The collar was bright red, almost a perfect match to Mario’s favorite color. "Heh, you’re just as good at getting into trouble as Mario, too,” Luigi added with a somber smile, kneeling down to oblige the ghost dog’s less-than-subtle plea for belly rubs until it disappeared again, as was its habit. Polterpup tended to suddenly poof in and out of thin air with little warning, and though it seemed to be at random at first, Luigi began to realize the dog mostly came to him when he was feeling alone, which was more often than not as of late. Every new experience, every strange encounter, every unexpected victory made Luigi wish more and more that his brother was around to take part. Hardly a second passed without him wondering what he was doing at that moment, and if he was okay.

Unfortunately, his occupied mind made him a less-than-helpful assistant to E. Gadd. The professor had warned earlier that he had always preferred working alone. The result was a very low tolerance level for “tomfoolery,” as he described it, and it wasn’t long before Luigi’s shaky attempts to help attach upgrades to The Poltergust caused the scientist to lose his patience. One shoddy wire-soldering job later, Luigi found himself being forcibly pushed toward the exit by the surprisingly strong old man. “Go. Shoo. Distract yourself with something else.”

“Like what?” Luigi asked, digging his heels. “What do I do? Where do I go?”

“How about you see the princess?”

“Princess Daisy?”

Luigi lingered in the doorway. The professor adjusted his glasses, and pointed down one of the castle hallways. “Yep! She’s in the greenhouse. I’m sure she could use the company. You two seem to get along well enough.”

“We do?” Luigi placed his hand against his cheek, thinking over their last interactions. They had exchanged blows, but worked together in the end to defeat Boolossus. She had held his hand up as the victor, but she had also toyed with him in a way that made it clear that she knew how weak he truly was. He liked her, that much he knew, but that didn’t mean she wanted anything more to do with him, and furthermore she had a power and confidence to her that intimidated him beyond her status as the daughter of four kings. “I don’t know. I mean, we did make a pretty good team, but she’s royalty! I don’t know anything about how to approach royalty. Do I bow? Or–”

“You’ll be fine,” The Professor assured, only half paying attention as he returned to his work, burying himself back into the open hatch of a large machine.

In the end, Luigi did as he was told. The greenhouse was easy enough to find. As large as the Birabuto Palace was, its corridors were open and easy to navigate, and the guards were surprisingly helpful in giving directions despite their shaky first-encounters.

Finding the large doors to the greenhouse, marked by limestone imitations of crawling vines carved into the archway, Luigi gathered his determination and pushed them open. The first thing that struck him was a wall of glacial cold– a shocking surprise, and the opposite of what he expected from a greenhouse, but this discomfort was immediately undercut by the beauty of the surrounding foliage. The flowers, sparkling with a brilliant, incandescent blue, sprouted from planter boxes and large pots all around in blooms and buds. He thought for a moment that surely they were beautifully-crafted plastic or silicon, but pinching a large leaf between the fingers of his gloves he found they felt as real as any common dandelion. The second thing that struck him was the night sky, clearly visible through the glass walls and ceiling. He had never in his life seen so many stars, and for all his love of science and space he could not recognize a single constellation, which served as an unsettling, but ultimately breathtaking reminder of how far from home truly he was.

“Oh! Hey!”

Luigi jumped and let out a surprised squeak when Daisy emerged from behind a stack of pots to greet him. Her cheeks were tinted pink from the cold, and in her right arm she held a large sack of powdery-white fertilizer that she was distributing between the plants. She laughed at his reaction, but it carried no hint of condescension, just friendly amusement. “I was hoping I’d see you again before we invaded Evershade Valley!” she called, waving him over. “Luigi, was it?”

Luigi approached while holding his hat to his chest, shuddering a bit as the chill bit at the edges of his ears. “Yes, Your Highness.” Daisy once more laughed her friendly, good-natured laugh. “None of that. Just Daisy. No ‘Miss’ or ‘Ma’am’ either. If you’ve gotta be formal, call me Princess Daisy.” Luigi, feeling a little more at ease, put his hat back on his head. “Yes, Princess Daisy.” She gave a nod of approval, then went back to work fertilizing the long rows of plants. “So,” she asked, “What can I help you with, big guy?” “I, er…” Luigi suddenly realized he had failed to come up with a proper reason before arriving here. He couldn’t very well say the professor kicked him out of the lab for being inept, but before he could think of an excuse his attention was re-seized by the plants. Curiosity overcame him to the point that he forgot his worries, and he once more brushed his hand against the leaf of the nearest flower. “Are these where your ice powers came from? In The Battle Stadium?” “Of course! I’m pretty good with a powerup, huh?” Daisy said proudly, “Normally I favor the elephant fruit, but today I decided to switch things up.” “Elephant fruit? There’s other magical plants?” The princess stiffened. Luigi was worried for a moment that he had accidentally said something offensive, but she retained her genuine smile as she set the sack of fertilizer down and placed her hands on her hips. “Wow, you’re really not from around here, are you.” Before Luigi could answer, she walked up and wrapped a friendly arm around his shoulder. “Suppose I should’ve known. Humans aren’t native to this world. The professor is one of, like, two other humans I know. Do you know E. Gadd? Is he your uncle or something?” “I– uh, no. We just met yesterday.” “Let me guess: you're lost." "Well... yes..." "And he said he'd only get you home if you help him.” “What!?” “He’s the kind of guy to pull a stunt like that if he thinks it’s for the greater good.” Daisy explained, holding Luigi a bit closer in a show of sympathy. “You don’t have to do this, you know, you could go home anytime you like. I’ll vouch for you!” Despite the friendly intention behind these words, Luigi felt a lump form in his throat. He slipped out from under The Princess’ side-hug, and stared up at her with a troubled look. “Do you… want me to leave?” Daisy bristled. Her cheeks reddened as she shook her head and waved her hands in dismay. “No! No no no of course not! I think you’re great! It’s just…” She trailed off, rubbing the back of her neck.

Luigi, surprised by this rare show of nervousness, patiently waited with bated breath for her to gather her thoughts, and after a few seconds she continued, quieter than before. “It’s just that I keep thinking about what you said in the arena. You seemed like a guy who had a lot to lose. You weren’t in it for glory or the fun of the fight, you were just scared and… I don’t know… I felt bad for you. Still do.” At this, Luigi gained a slight smile, shyly burying his hands in his pockets and rocking on his heels. “Heh, don’t worry. I gotta learn how to not be scared all the time, y'know?” It didn’t take long before he realized what he said– whose words he was echoing. The gravity of the situation quickly crashed back down on him, robbing him of that small moment of comfort. It was evident by the look on Daisy’s face that she had seen the change in his expression, so Luigi went ahead and explained his predicament before she could ask: “It’s my brother, Mario. We both fell through a warp pipe. I ended up in your kingdom but he ended up in Evershade Valley.”

Daisy cocked her head, the gears turning behind her eyes as everything she had witnessed about the plumber's manner up until now came together in her mind. “Oh. I see.”

“It was my fault. I fell into the warp pipe, and he jumped in after me, and– I… I can’t just leave him.” Luigi heard his own voice crack and felt tears beginning to form in his eyes. Despite this he kept going, the pent up emotions of the past twenty four hours running rampant, unable to be reigned in. “It’s not that I don’t trust anyone else to save him, but I gotta make sure he’s okay! We’ve never been apart this long… and I-... I miss him.” Tears began streaming freely, the cold air burning them into long lines down Luigi’s cheeks. He turned away, struggling to wipe his eyes with the back of his glove. “I’m sorry…”

“Don’t be.”

Luigi saw a glimmer of white fabric in the corner of his vision. Turning, he saw the princess holding a flower-embroidered handkerchief out to him. He accepted, and dried his eyes. He tried to hand it back, but she was already returning to the flowers, plucking up a set of pruning shears as she went. “I’ve never known a good fighter that didn’t have big emotions brewing under the surface,” she assured. “But don’t you worry, after the way we saved my dads, saving you brother should be no sweat!...” Luigi, hearing a light snip of closing shears, saw Princess Daisy remove one of the ice flowers at its base between where the leaves connected to the soil. Despite being cut off from its roots the plant remained as lively as ever. It almost looked to be dancing happily in her hands as she delivered it back to Luigi.

“...and when you do save him, give him this.” She said, holding out the offering. “If Mario’s anything like you, he’s not going to want to be defenseless, and ice magic is the one of the few things that can combat boos besides your Poltergust.” Luigi smiled. He reached out and took the flower into his hands. He was surprised to find it wasn’t particularly chilly to the touch– clearly the coldness of the room was for the sake of cultivating the plants, not the effect of the flowers themselves. “You seem to really know a lot.” He mused aloud, pressing the gift to his chest. “But… you said humans aren’t native to this world. Where did you come from, then?” He stopped suddenly, realizing the personal nature of what he asked. He searched Daisy’s face for some sign of disapproval, but was relieved to see her smiling just as brightly as before. “Ha! I wish I had an answer to your question!” She laughed, “Dragonzamasu says I hatched from an orange egg that appeared suddenly in a field of flowers. Biokinton says he found me curled up in a bassinet hitched to a shooting star. Hiyoihoi says he found me locked in a gemstone at the center of the oldest mountain in Sarasaland. But I’m more inclined to buy Totomesu’s story.”

“What’s Totomesu’s story?” Daisy’s smile wavered. Luigi wondered once again if he misstepped, but this time easily brushed the thought aside, trusting by now that the princess would let him know if he had done something wrong. She turned away, staring up at the stars through the glass wall of the greenhouse, and Luigi placed himself at the her side, watching the stars in tandem until Daisy finally broke the silence and answered his question: “He found me at the mouth of a warp pipe, barely old enough to crawl and completely terrified. Sometimes I think I still remember that day… as much as I prefer to believe that I hatched from an egg.”

There was such an odd sadness to her voice that Luigi felt an impulse to reach out and reassuringly take her hand, though he had enough common sense to refrain from such an intimate gesture. All the same, he wanted to say something comforting. “I don’t mind that you didn’t hatch from an egg.” He heard himself blurt out.

Daisy shot him a confused look, and Luigi nervously scrambled to explain himself. “What I mean is… hey, you were a baby, y’know? Ain’t nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re already so cool, you can’t be cool every moment of your life, and most babies aren’t cool! And… uh…” Daisy started to laugh. Luigi turned red, but felt a little better now that she was smiling again, even more so when he felt the princess affectionately nudging his shoulder. “Haha! I get it big guy, I get what you're saying!”

Luigi laughed too, in spite of himself.

“Speaking of ‘cool,’” Daisy went on, “I'm freezing!” She rubbed at her arms in a display of discomfort. Luigi, too, was suddenly reminded of just how cold he was. By now the low temperature had seeped all the way through his clothes and skin, triggering a powerful shiver that ran through his core, which was soon soothed as the princess wrapped an arm around him, and pressed him close. “Tell me, Luigi, do you have hot chocolate in your world?”

“I love hot chocolate!”

“Perfect!” With her arm still tightly wrapped around the plumber, Daisy eagerly led him to the egress of the greenhouse. “Let’s get us some good old-fashioned creature comforts before we fight some ghosts!”

"Heh. Yeah. Let's-a-go!" Luigi said, forcing enthusiasm, thankful that he had the cold as an excuse for his uncontrollable shivering.

[drops-of-moonlights]

we got two batches tonight so we're doing the first one! Young and Adult Lumas, a Boo, King Boo, Foreman Spike, Professor E. Gadd and Petey Piranha!

Lumas as a whole take inspiration from actual Lumas, stars from the original Paper Mario, and Geno. Their role is the same, star beings that can grow up into planets if they so wish. Adult Lumas are bigger, look notably older, and go from fully monochrome to having an analogous color as their "core". They're still under Rosalina when young, but if they don't become planets or other celestial beings then they become Rosalina's helpers.

Boos are basically the same too, they just have a body now lol. King Boo follows a similar guideline but I wanted him to be a fancy bitch.

For Spike I took primarily from his movie depiction solely because the color palletes from his game installments didn't convince me - they were too close to Waluigi's colors, and blue is INCREDIBLY UNDERUSED in Mario as a primary color. The plaid shirt does come from his plaid pants from Mobile Golf tho! in my verse he also lives in the Mushroom Kingdom and runs a construction and demolition business alongside Morton of the Koopalings.

Professor E. Gadd did not change that much, I just lightly damaged his labcoat, then changed his shirt and tie to King Boo and Luigi's colors, respectively. Fulfills the same role as in canon of a weird little man that makes a lot of inventions and is obsessed with ghosts.

Finally, Petey Piranha! Who I didn't originally mean to redesign but after doing so many other characters I said "why the fuck not". He is Bowser Jr.'s first OC of sorts, wholly created by him that then came to life thanks to his magic paintbrush. He is meant to look like a mix of a Piranha Plant and a Pianta, hence his more humanoid build. Also he has leaf wings now because tell me that isn't something a kid would do when making an OC for the first time that's right you can't because we've all done it.

In 2020 I held a “Shroobs for Supplies” charity drive and Shroob-ified a bunch of Mario characters in exchange for donations 🍄

[henryplush]

i love E. Gadd so much, i dont think he's evil at all to be honest, don't think he's good either. i just don't think he really cares. random child wants a crazy paintbrush with powers? sure! random man shows up in a mansion he's ghost hunting in? make him help!

i love his relationship with Luigi too, I saw someone point out that his dialogue is a lot kinder in Mansion one than it is in three and that makes total sense to me. I like to think Gadd has some manners in him, why tell off a complete stranger who's willing to help. and Luigi already seems nervous, no reason to add to that.

But by three him and Luigi already got this father-son dynamic going so he's comfortable being himself even if it's someone with brutal honesty, and it doesn't hurt Luigi either because at the end of the day he knows that in the end that's who Gadd is, and he likes him for who he is so why change it! And Luigi knows that Gadd ultimately has his best interest in mind. And Luigi isn't the bumbling buffoon that people make him out to be, he will and can talk back if he needs too.

He probably has and will told of Gadd a few times, but that's how they are and I like it!

Episode Idea: The Curious Case of Dr. Weegee and Mr. L

When Mario's latest antics go a bit too far, Luigi snaps, laying into him for both that and all the other crap he's gone through, before storming off to E. Gadd's lab to see if his on-and-off mentor needs anything done, since he feels the need to do something productive while he cools off. Unfortunately, angry plumbers and mad science don't mix, and he gets hit by a stray blast from the invention he's helping put the finishing touches on.

The next time anyone sees him, he's acting uncharacteristically cold and bitter, especially towards Mario, his eating and sleeping habits have taken a nosedive, he's wearing a bandana for some reason, and no-one can find E. Gadd anywhere despite Luigi more-or-less moving into his lab for a while. Everyone's walking on eggshells around him, apart from Mario who's trying to make things right and getting burned badly in the process.

On top of that, a new technology-based villain called the Green Thunder has popped up, committing targeted, thematically appropriate crimes against specific individuals who have seemingly no connection. At least, they don't until the crew gathers enough clues to realize that this villain is Luigi, and that something must have happened that night in the lab. They find the Professor locked in a storage closet, and he reveals that the invention they'd been working on was actually meant for him. It was supposed to fix his tendency to create things that go rogue and cause chaos by suppressing the mad part of his mad scientist persona. Unfortunately in its unfinished state it did the opposite, bringing all of Luigi's unexpressed rage, pride and self-loathing to the surface while pushing down the Luigi he prefers to be, along with his moral compas.

They confront him at the site of his next big plan, where he decides that now that they know who-and what-he is, he'll adopt the name Mr. L, Luigi's old villainous alter ego, since technically that's who he was already. The crew distracts him by appealing to the usual Luigi-who's been fighting for control the whole time and managed to leave a few of the clues the crew followed-and then uses a modified version of the invention that started this to get him back to normal.

In the end, the Mario Bros decide to start going to relationship counseling, since clearly things have been Real Bad between them for a long time now(though admittedly have been getting a bit better, especially ever since they met their current friend group) and they need professional help. Meanwhile, something, or rather someone, lurks in the dark alleys of New Donk City, wearing a green bandana and a twisted grin...

I was watching a playthrough of Luigi's Mansion 3 in Spanish and it just makes me laugh Professor E. Gadd's name in Spanish:

D. Sastre is a pun - "desastre," meaning 'disaster.'

The Spanish translation really called E. Gadd Professor Disaster lol

The King Arrives - Chapter 2

(A few days after ‘Plant Care’ from 'Hues’ Collection)

Everything felt off.

Everyone was on edge.

Something was wrong.

They don’t have long to fix it.

“Welp!” E. Gadd clapped his hands together, “no time to just stand around whippersnappers! We have a lot of work ahead of us that we need to tackle. Come along, let’s look at what we’ve got to work with.” 

He waved the three along, beaming as he led the way back to the table. The trio gave each a look of worried confusion before following along. Feeling a chill at his side, Luigi looked over to find Polterpup trotting alongside. Happy as could be with their tongue hanging out. 

“As stated before, in order to fix this, we need to find the source. But with everything as messed up as it is, my scanners aren’t able to solidly locate anything. I can get a rough outline of how the castle’s layout is. But even then, it’s a large guess. So, our first, first, task is to clear out as many of the Ecto-Ghosts as possible in hopes that will clear up some of the conflicting information.” 

They all jumped back when the heavy tables let out a loud hiss, the tops opening up to reveal a number of different gadgets hidden below. Amid the numerous flashlights, communicators, and container units sat, strangely enough, a red vacuum cleaner. 

“...Really?” Wario asked with a raised brow, turning to face the professor, “What are we going to do? Scare the ghosts with how clean the place is?” 

“Now, now, don’t go judging a book by its cover. Is it a vacuum? Yes. But it’s so much more! It’s been modified to the extreme. I present to you…the Poltergust!” 

“So…a glorified vacuum. Great.” Wario winced as Peach hit his arm, along with a strong glare. 

Luigi, however, leaned forward with interest. “How does it work?” E. Gadd lit up, standing closer to point out the features he listed off. “Well, it still does work much like a vacuum. However, the nozzle switches between three modes. Suction to the extreme, an attached flashlight with a Strobe Bulb, and a black light that helps find hidden objects. The Strobe Bulb helps stun ghosts long enough to trap them into a strong vortex, which if not broken will lead to said ghosts being caught.”

“The nozzle is attached to a heavy duty container. Normally, I could only catch one ghost at a time in these smaller iterations. Two if they were very close. But this can hold an infinite number of ghosts! …Or at least 100. I’m not really sure about the range. Any who, this is my absolute pride and joy. Hours were poured into this amazing piece of machinery. …Do you want to try it on?”

Luigi, who’d been leaning closer as the professor talked, reeled back in surprise. “I- really?”

“Of course! I wouldn’t offer if I wasn’t serious. Come along now, put it on.” 

There was no argument once he’d gotten E. Gadd’s approval. Luigi slipped said machine onto his back easily. A little surprised with how light it felt. The nozzle held into his right hand, Luigi flipped through the nozzle modes. 

…Why did this feel so…natural?

“Huh, fancy looking,” Wario had pulled away from Peach’s steel glare to look the contraption over. Shaking it slightly on Luigi’s back, clearly confused as to how this was supposed to work. “Lots of bells and whistles. This thing going to save our butts?”

“In theory, yes.” E. Gadd replied.

“Wait, I’m sorry, ‘in theory’? What does that mean?” Peach asked worriedly.

“Well, I mean, I never had the chance to fully test it before arriving here. Was kind of in a hurry!”

Luigi shook his head. “It can’t be helped now. We have to work with what we have.”

“Yeah, suppose so,” Wario huffed, turning back to Luigi to tug gently at the Poltergust, “Alright Luigi, hand it over.”

“W-What?”

“I’ll hunt down these ghosts, you’re staying here.”

The younger brother stepped back, “No, I’m going out there to get Mario!”

“You’re staying here. I promised Mario that I’d keep you safe and that means you’re staying here.”

“If you’re going to worry about that, then you can keep me safe out there. I’m not going to just sit around and wait.”

“Luigi…give me the vacuum.”

“Poltergust.” E. Gadd quickly added.

“Not now, old man.”

“It’s on my back and I’m not taking it off,” Luigi glared Wario down, “I’m also not taking any more time to discuss this. We need to do something now.”

“To true!” E. Gadd interjected again, “I do have the smaller containment units here, quite a number of them. They can only capture one entity at a time, but you can carry a lot. You’ll have to return here to empty them out once filled up. Communicators that also double as a way to display the map that I have, as well as heavy duty flashlights.”

“Fine, give me a few of those containers.” Wario lamented, walking over to the table.

“Same here!” A soldier called out. Rushing over to the table to stop by Wario’s side.

“Me as well.”

“Over here please!”

More Toads shuffled over, small hands waving to gain attention and the given tools. Peach was about to step forward when Toadsworth placed a hand on her’s. 

“Please, my dear, I need you here. For my sake.”

“...Alright.”

Luigi shifted the Poltergust better onto his back, jumping back when the ghost pup appeared before him. Polterpup barked happily, seeing they’d caught the human’s attention. Remaining by Luigi’s side as all were geared up and lined by the door. E. Gadd by the side to address them all. 

“Now, our current goal is pretty straightforward. Clear out as many Ecto-Ghosts as possible. No only to help keep our reality stable, but to also clear enough crazy energy so that I can find the source of this issue. It’s a maze out there. Make sure you stay in groups and that someone has a map for you to follow.”

“I advise you to start with the room that you find as soon as you leave here. If you don’t see anything…that’s kind of the point. Make sure you check over everything before moving on. Understand?”

All nodded in agreement.

“Very well! I’ll be on the monitor if anyone needs advice.” 

Luigi felt his heart hammering as the doors opened once more. No fearful purple portal greeting him this time. Just a hallway that was drenched in shadows. Thankfully, he was walking out prepared and with a small army.

As the large group headed out, with the doors closing behind them, E. Gadd called out, “Good luck! …And run if you need to! Living is important!”

With that, the doors closed behind them with a heavy thud. 

Time: 8:10pm Stability Lost: 18%

Luigi was leading the way, flashlight facing forward while his eyes continuously darted around. He was frantically scanning the area to catch the first sign that would indicate a ghost was nearby. But it had been just as quiet when he’d walked through before. His attention did go to Polterpup, who seemed at ease at the moment, which had Luigi lowering his shoulders slightly.

“So, I hate to ask,” Wario whispered to Luigi, “How do we find these ghosts? Do we just start opening draws and shake the vases? Or are they going to come to us?”

“I honestly have no idea,” Luigi replied just as quietly, “But the professor did say there were ghosts in here.” 

“Okay, well, how about we just start opening doors as well or-” Wario fell quiet when Luigi lifted a hand, both paying attention to Polterpup. Who’d started sniffing the ground. Padding forward before stopping right next to a potted plant. Plopping down before facing Luigi, head tilted happily as he waited for the human to react. 

Luigi quickly placed a finger to his mouth to indicate for everyone to remain quiet before stepping forward. To which Wario immediately reached out to grab at his shoulder, silently shaking his head and holding up his own container. There was a silent argument between the two, Wario wanting to see how dangerous these ghosts could be while Luigi kept pointing to the Poltergust. A clear indication of ‘I have the better tool, let me do this.’

Wario frowned but did pull back. Holding his own tools out while Luigi crept forward. Polterpup trotted away as the human reached the plant, Luigi reaching out to nudge it. 

…Nothing.

Luigi frowned and turned back to Wario with a confused shrug. The other indicates to shake it one more time. 

Swallowing weakly, Luigi reached out once more. Giving the vase another, more harsh shake. 

That caused the ghost to finally pop out. A yellow one, letting out a violent shriek as it towered over Luigi. Who was scrambling to switch the nozzle to the appropriate setting. Only to be pushed away with a strong pulse of energy. Luigi feeling his own powers reacting negatively to the spark the ghost seemed to give off. 

Wario started forward the moment Luigi had been pushed back, the human clearly dazed. Grabbing his container unit…only to have a Toad scream in both fear and furry, throwing one of their own. To which it soared through the air, right through the ghost, and clattered to the floor on the other side. Said ghost letting out a chortle, advancing towards the group. 

And then the container activated. 

Luigi was temporarily blinded by the bright burst of light the container gave off. Frantically rubbing his eyes to clear up the spots. Vision returned in just enough time to see the ghost, who’d been frozen from the flash, was pulled towards the container. Able to see the vortex E. Gadd had talked about before, Luigi spotted small bolts of white energy sparking from said vortex. The ghost let out a small shriek of fear before disappearing into the container.

The lid snapped closed, gave a small jolt, and stilled. Polterpup walked forward to gather said container in their mouth and carried back over to the Toad who’d thrown it. Who was frozen in their throwing stance, eyes wide.

“...Well…that’s one way to do it.” Wario commented.

Luigi let out a sigh, shoulders dropping in small relief. “I’m just happy to know those things work.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine… A little mad I couldn’t get this working fast enough, but fine.”

Wario helped the human back up, looking him over. “You sure? I know you were knocked back, but you looked dazed.”

“...I was shocked.”

“We are facing ghosts, it seems pretty normal.”

“No, not shocked as in ‘surprised’. Shocked as if it was an electrical shock. My powers even acted up, as if trying to counteract it.”

“Weird…well-”

The group tensed again when Polterpup started barking. Growling low as their head swivels from door to door, back arched, fangs bared. The communicators suddenly sounded, those carrying them answering it quickly.

“HEADS UP!” E. Gadd said, “We have big movement heading your way!”

“Alright everyone, stay in groups, stand your grounds!” Wario called out.

The doors lining the hallway were slammed open, numerous Ecto-Ghosts suddenly flying through. Different sizes from small to barely able to squeeze through the door. Different shapes and colors. All of them eventually became a blur of multi-colored as they floated above the group. 

The first attack was from the ghosts, one quickly swooping down to grab a Toad. Who let out a fearful squeak as they left the ground. Dropping their container that lost its charge. 

Luigi jumped into action again. The flashlight mode on, he built up the Strobe effect, the light flashing over the escaping ghost. Who immediately froze up, dropping the startled Toad back onto the ground. Not pausing, Luigi quickly changed to the regular nozzle, activating the vortex. 

He wasn’t prepared for the ghost to be broken from their stupor so soon. The spectral being putting up a fight, trying to pull itself free. Which meant Luigi was pulled along for the unwanted ride as well. Stumbling slightly as the ghost practically dragged him down the hallway. Digging his heels in, Luigi pulled the nozzle back as if he was reeling in a fish. There was an eventual and satisfying ‘SWOOSH!’ when the ghost finally went in. Luigi just able to keep himself on his feet.

As he lifted his cap back into place, Luigi felt the Poltergust shutter weakly before calming down once more. 

He’d done it. He caught his first ghost.

And it had been utterly terrifying.

Luigi panted weakly as he straightened himself up, legs shaking weakly. Only to tense when a number of Ecto-Ghost dashed past him. Just as he was about to chase after a group of Toads quickly followed after. Each giving a yell of something primal sounding as they waved their containers around. 

He could only watch in amazement, trying to take in just what he was witnessing, when his shoulders were shaken.

“Ha, nicely done!” said Wario, “Way to lead a revolution! Come on, we already have some Toads going into the other rooms.”

Wario let out a laugh as he opened the closest door and rushed through. Luigi, having a hold on his cap, followed close behind with Polterpup right by his side. 

The castle had become an absolute madhouse. 

The trio of Wario, Luigi, and Polterpup jumping from room to room. Catching brief glimpses of small groups of Toads tackling every ghost that dared crossed their path. Capturing one before running after their next target. It was all strangely…animalistic.

“Are all Toads like this?” Luigi asked.

“Ha, no! Why do you think these Toads are part of the army?” Wario smirked.

Ah, alright then. 

The non-spectral beings jumped back when another ghost popped out. Green this time, with two tapered tails instead of the expected one. Letting out a laugh seeing the living beings react in surprise. Only to falter when Polterpup barked at it, growling as they stood before Luigi. Wario took advantage of that hesitation to throw one of his own containers. Trapping the ghost in the next second. 

There was no time to pause when another ghost appeared, two actually. Yellow and skinny, looping around the trio, making it difficult for Luigi to land a good flash of light onto them. Eventually hooking in one, with the other throwing an orange at him (what the heck!) that hit the back of Luigi’s head. Wario catching it the next second. 

Another room, another round of ghosts to capture. Luigi became comfortable with the tools given to him. Beaming when he was able to collect two ghosts at once.

“Nice!” Wario called out, “You’re a natural at this.”

Luigi could only offer a sheepish smile as a reply. Eventually, the Toads were calling out to fall back, being unable to capture further ghosts. Wario also commented that he’d gotten all that he could. 

“Please tell me that we got something out of this, besides just a headache.” He said to E. Gadd, communicator held up. 

“Mmm…yes and no. While some of the interference has been cleared up, the readings I’ve been getting are…strange. And inconsistent. I feel that I’ve seen this data before, but I can’t think as to what it is.”

“What about that fear of our reality being torn apart, we still in danger of that?”

“Very much so. The collecting that’s happened has changed nothing. Which leads me to think that this is all just a guessing game created for us from the person pulling the strings.”

“Yeah, and we’re losing.” 

Luigi frowned as he listened to the conversation. No longer entertained by Polterpup, who had started to put their front paws on the human’s legs. “So, we’re still unsure where anything is.”

Wario immediately changed his tone, “We’ll find him.”

“Possibly.”

“Unhelpful.”

“Realistic. We’re not in a situation where we can promise anything.”

“Doesn’t mean being blunt is going to help!” Wario argued.

Luigi pulled the communicator from Wario’s grip to talk to the professor. “Do you have anything positive that you can give us?”

“Mmmm… No, but let us have a different perspective on this. Have you been able to find a Boo?”

“None.”

“Then they’re hiding for a reason.”

“Boos aren’t confrontational.” Wario argued.

“They also don’t invade a kingdom or kidnap a human. It’s worrisome to know so many Boos are here, but none have been seen. This is technically a dream come true for them. A place where everyone’s on edge and they can eat fear? This is an opportunity they wouldn’t pass up.”

“You don’t think that…since they have Mairo…” Luigi swallowed weakly. 

“I very much doubt your brother would be enough to satiate every Boo. Especially with the number that’s supposed to be here.”

Wario sighed, “So, what needs to be our next move?” 

“Annoyance and draw out? Perhaps if we continue to dwindle the number of Ecto-Ghosts that are here, our ring leader will finally appear. If anything else, we might draw out where the Boos are hiding.”

“We’re really just trying to play catch up, aren’t we…”

Luigi handed the communicator back to Wario, grabbing the nozzle again. “You need to go back to the Great Hall.”

“What?”

“You don’t have any more containment units, you’re a target. I can still keep going.” 

“I’m not leaving you out here, by yourself.”

“I have Polterpup.” Luigi smiled softly when said dog barked happily. 

Wario was going to argue further, only for a group of Toads to come rushing over. Claiming they needed to go back to regroup. With the other distracted, Luigi was given a moment to think.

“Mario…”

Gadd was right about the ghosts wanting something from the kingdom. Everyone else was right about what that was they were looking for. It still did nothing to ease Luigi’s worries. What would Boos even want from Mario? It seemed weird that they would suddenly change their hunting patterns. It was weird that Boos would work with Ecto-Ghosts.

What could have changed? Would they be able to find Mario in time? Or was everything going to fall apart before they figured out a good way to fight back? Was Mario being pulled through the wall the last thing Luigi remembered from his brother?

“Big bro, where are you?”

.

.

.

“Luigi?”

Tensing upon hearing his name, Luigi lifted the nozzle up to fight…

Only to find nothing. The hallway was empty. Polterpup gave a worried whine upon seeing the human move so suddenly. But Luigi didn’t seem to hear them, eyes peering around. Trying to figure out who or what had said his name. 

“Luigi?”

His entire right side suddenly chilled. Turning sharply, Luigi was surprised to find a door, created from purple wood and with a decorative frame. Said door slowly opened to reveal a dark interior. But it didn’t deter Luigi, who’d lowered the nozzle as he walked towards it. Ignoring as Polterpup pulled at his pants leg. 

“Luigi?”

His heart leapt. Eyes widening as he tried to peer into the darkness. His name seemed to echo. He could have sworn…it sounded like…

“Luigi.”

“Mario?”

“What was that?” Wario asked, turning away from fiddling with a leftover container. Only to freeze.

Polterpup was frantically tugging at the back of Luigi’s overalls, whining softly. Luigi seemed to be absolutely transfixed with the nearby wall. The younger brother showed a spark of hope as he leaned forward. Eyes a pale gray with a haze of purple clouding around his head.

“Luigi?” Wario called out.

The younger brother didn’t flinch. He didn’t even give indication that he’d even heard Wario. Still staring at the wall. Polterpup now barked as they pushed on Luigi’s stomach.

Wario tried again, more forceful this time, “Luigi.”

Still nothing.

Wario’s heart fell as Luigi moved forward. Polterpup phasing through the human’s chest, who was still heading directly for the wall. Panic rising when Luigi reached out to touch said wall and his hand went through it.

“Luigi, stop!”

Wario wasn’t fast enough. Luigi was more than halfway through before Wario got there. His own hand met a solid wall when he tried to reach out to pull the younger brother back. 

“Wha- shit! Luigi, come back! Luigi!” Wario slammed his hands against the solid form. It amounted to nothing. He let out a low growl before turning to Polterpup. “Can you find him?”

The spectral pup gave a bark. Wagging their tail furiously before disappearing through the same wall. Wario froze as he listened to the furious barking grew distant. Only moving away when he couldn’t hear the other any more.

“Do what you can… Which isn’t standing here like an idiot.” Gathering his discarded supplies, Wario walked off. Following the map on his communicator back to the Great Hall. 

Time: 11:32pm Stability Lost: 45%

It was a weird sensation. Luigi’s stomach churning at the confusing and conflicting information. His mind told him there was nothing to see in this inky void. While his feet confirmed that he was walking on solid ground. The human moved forward slowly. Eyes continuously scanning the blackness, trying to find something.

“M-Mario?” He weakly called out, “...Mario?”

His heart was beating furiously. Luigi could have sworn he’d heard his older brother. Maybe he was- 

“Luigi.”

He whipped around. The flashlight providing no help in breaking through the darkness. Swearing the voice sounded right behind him.

“M-Mario?” Luigi whispered again, sounding very unsure. Because now that he was in here, his brother sounded…

Wrong.

“Luigi.”

“Mario? Where are you?”

The singular voice suddenly became dozens. All sounding like his brother, shouting Luigi’s name, along with shrieks and icy laughter. The human desperately covered his ears as the sound seemed to rattle his head. Squinting his eyes as he tried to find where all of this was coming from. Bending over in pain, the vibrations shaking him to his core. 

Just as sudden as the voices sounded, it stopped. 

The eerie silence pressing down twice as hard as before. 

What was happening?

Was this just another illusion?

Had he really just walked into a trap?

How stupid could he be?

Grabbing the nozzle again, Luigi lifted it up to try and defend himself from whatever was happening. “Who’s there, where are you! C-Come out and fight!”

His entire form was tense at the chill washing over to him, barely able to see his breath in the minimal light the flashlight provided. What was he supposed to do? If this was an illusion, how could he break through? He was a sitting duck with no way to defend himself!

‘Suction to the extreme, an attached flashlight with a Strobe Bulb effect, and a black light that helps find hidden objects.’

Wait, black light. Luigi quickly switched to that setting and activated it. Swinging it around until he swerved over an area where the air suddenly vibrated. Still the light on the area, hearing something hiss and shriek as they were pulled from the darkness. The waving air turned into something solid. 

Something white and translucent. With black dot eyes and little nubs for arms. A long mouth filled with jagged, different sized fangs turned to a frown. Deep hisses of discomfort leaving it. 

Luigi took a step back, eyes wide.

This…

This was a…

“Boo.”

A new voice sounded. High-pitched and echoey, Luigi felt his hair standing on end. He let out a yelp as something sharp scraped across his shoulder. Causing the nozzle to clatter to the ground, the Boo he’d found laughing and floating away. 

Shaking weakly, Luigi checked his shoulder, slightly relieved to see no green venom mixed with the red. But that didn’t help the situation when he found himself surrounded by four Boos. All laughing at the fearful look Luigi held.

“Aw, is little Weegee lost?”

“Looks like he misplaced his big bro.”

“That’s a shame, but don’t worry! We’ll take you to him.”

“No skin off our bones.”

Luigi jumped back into action. Pulling the nozzle back up and activating the Strobe Bulb. But it didn’t work out as he thought. The Boos merely winced before disappearing back into the darkness. Their laughter mocking Luigi as he racked his mind figuring out some kind of solution. Shaking as he waited for some kind of attack to be launched at him.

Swallowing weakly, Luigi knew he had to take this situation into his own hands. If the Strobe Bulb didn’t work, and the black light did, was that the key to take these Boos down? Would he be able to use the black light long enough to even get one? It couldn’t hurt to try.

Well, it could. But Luigi didn’t really have much of a choice.

Flipping back to the black light, Luigi stilled himself. Needing to rely on his senses to warn him about the no doubt incoming attack. Wide eyes staring at nothing as he waited for one of the Boos to take the bait.

A cold shiver traveled up his left arm. 

Black light already flipped on, Luigi whipped it around to the general area he’d felt the shiver come from. Catching one of the Boos in the beam. Said creature hissing and shivering as its cover fell away until it was completely solid. Painting in pain, it’s purple tongue lolling out of its mouth. 

Luigi didn’t pause. Switching the nozzle and trapping the Boo into a familiar vortex. Again, this didn’t work the same as the Ecto-Ghosts. The Boos’ tongue was caught first. Which jerked said creature out of their stupor. Luigi being pulled back into a familiar tug-of-war situation.

He dug his feet into the darkness as the Boo tried to pull away. It would only fight for so long. Luigi was more than a little surprised that, upon pulling back, he was able to actually swing the Boo around. Who let out a pained shriek as it hit something solid, but unseen.

The wall.

It was enough force to unstick the Boos’ tongue. The being successfully caught and contained in the Poltergust.

The darkness fell away. The remaining Boos let out hisses and shrieks of fear as they shrunk away from the human. Turning away and disappearing into the wall before Luigi could react. Clearly making their escape.

Luigi was somehow still standing. Panting weakly as it slowly dawned on him what had just happened.

He caught a Boo.

A creature that had no known weakness. That wasn't even hurt by Power Ups. Luigi now had one in the contraption resting on his back. 

“...Holy shit,” Luigi uttered in absolute disbelief, “...I really hated that.”

A loud bark broke Luigi from his tense stance. The human let out a scream as he jumped away from the sudden sound. Only to relax upon realizing it was just Polterpup.

“Oh, h-hey you,” he couldn’t help but laugh in relief, “Hey puppy. D-did you come looking for me?”

Polterpup let out another bark, one of agreement, tail wagging happily. They stood on their back legs, placing their front paws on Luigi’s chest. On his part, Luigi lifted his arms up to wrap around the spirit. Realizing he just needed a few minutes to just…breath.

Polterpup let out a soft whimper.

“I’m okay.” Luigi whispered weakly, but didn’t let go.

The spectral dog let out a small bark, wiggling slightly. Luigi got the message. They weren’t safe there. They needed to get back to the hall.

Luigi released the ghost, grabbing the nozzle again for light, and silently gestured for Polterpup to lead. The dog doing so with Luigi following behind numbly. Paying no attention to the numerous twists and turns they made. Only showing attention to his surroundings when they arrived back to the Great Hall, startled by the light and bright colors. 

“Luigi!”

The human had barely registered his name before he was pulled into a tight hug. “...Wario?”

“Yeah, it’s me.”

Luigi immediately dropped his nozzle to wrap his arms as best he could around Wario. Polterpup was good for comfort. But this was helping Luigi ground better.

He didn’t argue as Wario pulled away. The other quickly checked Luigi over.

“Are you hurt?” Wario asked, “Where did you go? What even happened?”

Unsure of what to answer first, Luigi simply provided a weak, “I caught a Boo.”

“You what!” The exclaimed remark sounded from both Wario and E. Gadd. The professor looked absolutely gleeful.

Luigi slipped the Poltergust off, holding it out for E. Gadd to take. “The Strobe Bulb didn’t do anything. But they really don’t like the blacklight.”

The professor looked up to Luigi.” Do tell.” 

“They acted like they were being burned…and they became solid… Oh, and they can also talk, apparently. Did you know that?”

Wario shook his head slowly while E. Gadd gave a hum in contemplation “Solid? And talking? Interesting…this is absolutely thrilling!”

“At least someone’s enjoying themselves,” Wario grumbled as the professor walked away, “Seriously, Luigi, what happened?”

“I thought I heard Mario…but it was a trap,” Luigi answered, “It was just another illusion. I really thought I found him…”

“This is getting out of hand.”

“Were we able to find anything with the scanners?”

Wario rubbed his forehead. “No, not really. There was a large collection of energy found once. But, it disappeared in a few seconds after and, apparently, it’s moving. Which is unhelpful to our situation.”

“What?”

“Eureka!” E. Gadd’s call broke their conversation, beaming at whatever was being shown on the screen. 

Peach was by his side first. “What did you find?”

“Oh, this is brilliant! Capturing this Boo was the key we needed to fit the final puzzle piece. I was incorrect about the entire thing…to a point.”

“Can you please just tell us.” Wario grumbled out.

“At first, I thought the state of the castle was due to the amount of Ecto-Ghosts here. Reality falling apart, all that fun stuff. But, I was wrong about the source. It’s the Boos!”

Luigi frowned at that, “Wait, what?”

“This illusion is just created by the Boos! The energy signature surrounding the castle and the one that I’ve scanned are the same! Or, well, close to the same. The one trapping us in here is far more stronger in comparison to what this Boo is creating. However, this still proves what all of this is caused by!”

“B-But I thought Boos could only cause hallucinations by their venom. H-How are they able to do all of this?”

“No idea, but this is absolutely fascinating.”

“Would you please stop being so thrilled about this!” Wario frowned.

Peach pulled him away to lean closer to the screen. “What does this mean for us?”

“Well, this information, combined with the brief moment of seeing how large that energy field was, means that it narrows down to one thing. All of this has been caused by one Boo. Meaning we have one main target for us to focus on.”

“Wait, back up, I still want to figure out how Boos were able to pull this off. If one Boo is behind this, how was it able to change so much to find so many Boos and Ecto-Ghosts to create an army? This seems so extreme for them.” asked Wario.

“You’d be correct… If we were working with normal Boos. Something in their structure has changed since my last data point. Dramatically. Or drastically. Either way, these are not the same Boos that we’ve faced before. They’re supposed to be scavengers, only attacking when someone wanders into their territory. Something like this is unheard of. This was all planned.”

The group moved back as E. Gadd pushed away from the desk. Beginning to pace as he thought over his next words. 

“When I first saw the change, I commented that the Boos seemed to be almost migrating. Large numbers were collected as nights passed. Which was strange for a number of reasons, but the main point being Boos don’t normally gather in large numbers. Then Ecto-Ghosts started to join their ranks. Arriving here, seeing how the hallucinations turn to full blown… Something in their fundamental structure has been changed somehow…”

“The main point I’m trying to get to is that something was commanding all of this. Leading them. Brought them here.”

“They took Mario.” Luigi added weakly.

“Yes!” E. Gadd frowned, “Yes, they did! The structure of all of this is strange. Following this with the large moving form of energy… I believe there’s one Boo who’s, somehow, controlling everything. How that all came to be, I’m unsure.”

Wario and Luigi casted a worried glance to each other before the older said, “Mario was bitten by a Boo. Do you think-”

“Human blood?” E. Gadd hummed softly, “...Possibly? But I fail to see how. Humans are just another set of living beings, same as the rest of us-”

“Mario has Firebrand,” Luigi quickly stated, “A-And I have Thunderhand.”

“You- Why has no one told me of this before! You and your brother have access to magic? Natural magic? This is unheard of! Tell me, when did these powers begin to manifest and-”

“I think,” Peach said strongly, “what Luigi is trying to get at is that while they’re human, they’re…different.”

“Different humans…creating different Boos? Goodness, what a thought. Be that as it may, these are just speculations at the moment. I can confirm all of this once this has reached a conclusion. Strap back in and arms up! We need another round of cleaning if we’re going to see tomorrow!” 

Professor E. Gadd walked off, the Toads clamoring back around the table once more.

“Luigi.”

The younger brother faced Wario, “Yeah?”

“...If this guy is even a sliver of a chance of being correct… I just need you to stay close, alright?”

“...Alright.”

Time: 1:05am Stability Lost: 56%

“Run, run!” 

“I didn’t know that could happen!”

“Oooh, he’s gonna be so mad!”

Passing through walls and traveling through the large void the castle rested in, three Boos frantically raced towards their destination. Phasing pass a pair of ornate doors. Unconcerned that the once comforting room for royalty was nothing more than a black void. Unbothered by the human dressed in red withering in unseen fear. Only stopping when they could huddle in the ‘back’. All shivering.

They weren’t given a moment to recover when a gravelly voice spoke.

“What happened.”

They all jumped in unison. Turning to find deep purple eyes staring down at them. 

“W-We’re sorry!”

“We don’t know what happened!”

“Apologies are not needed. However, it is concerning to see Boos of all creatures so fearful.”

“The green human has a vacuum contraption thing!”

“I’m aware of this.”

“It caught one of us!”

The eyes widened hearing this before narrowing once more. “...Well, this was not the outcome I was expecting. Even more so from that cowardly human. But it doesn’t matter. We still have the upper hand.”

“B-But…”

“We have nothing to fear. A stupid little vacuum carried by a cowardly human is not a threat for us.”

“L-Luigi?”

The eyes snapped over to Mario. Who had fallen limp, gray eyes appearing to be staring into the darkness. But the Boos knew better. They knew the human was still trapped in his own nightmares.

The voice growled, “Your worthless brother will be joining you soon enough. I can only imagine how his fears will taste. If the brave older brother, who can face Bowser without worry, now quivers before me…I can only imagine how that wimp’s fear will be. We’ll get him soon enough. Another trap and he’ll be under my nightmares.”

One of the Boos softly spoke up. “He saw through our illusion.”

“WHAT?” The entire room shook at that. Mario’s relaxed position disappeared, now fearfully curling away from the unseen danger. “What do you mean he saw through it!”

“H-He seemed to fall for it at first!”

“But something changed and he just knew!”

The voice let out a frustrated growl, “He was unaffected yesterday and now the illusions are failing us. What is this human? Such a weakling should fall for our guise, what is he! Never mind. I’ll find out on my own when I tear him apart.”

“W-What do we do?”

“...If they want to fight, let's give them one.  But…it’ll be on my terms.”

A large jeweled crown suddenly glowed from the darkness. Red turning to a deep purple, bolts of same colored energy striking out. All in the room uncaring (or unaware) at how everything began to shake. The walls and floors begin to shatter and crumble away, the void seeping through. The castle falling into darker shadows.

Those inside the Great Hall were feeling the full effect. All cowering by the tables or anywhere they could count as coverage. Wario hunched over Peach and Luigi. E. Gadd doing what he could to keep his equipment in place.

Just as soon as it started, it was over. All looking around fearfully.

“What was that?” Luigi whispered.

“...I think our big bad wanted to say hi.” Wario replied. 

The tense silence was broken when E. Gadd cried out, “Criminy!”

The professor was standing before the computer once more. The screen flashing a concerning red. “I don’t know what that was. But it caused a major influx in the instability of this world. We’re running out of time!”

“How much longer do you think?” Luigi asked.

“I have no idea, but it’s not long. We need a new plan and fast.”

i played Luigi's Mansion for the first time tonight and

have we talked about how this guy talks like a jawa. like. are we sure he isn't one??? because i'm pretty sure he's speaking the jawa trade language and we've never seen under the robes, so this could just be what they look like

[tooncraze]

The duality of ghost hunting

No cause I played the 3rd game first and was put off by how passive agressive Gadd was to Luigi, only to be more surprised by the fact that he was actually quite nice to him in the previous games?? Like what happened between the second and third game💀💀

Rambling, meme, and extra drawing under the cut:

It's funny, last year on my birthday I played Luigi's mansion 3. I already had the game, and I wanted to relax and play something new. But I didn't keep playing it after that day. Now, a year later, I'm really into Mario, and the urge to play Luigi's mansion took over. I've played the og several times but never beat it, so I started a new playthrough and completed it the other day! (THAT GAME IS SO GOOD UUUUUHGHHGHH) Now I'm playing dark moon, another game I never finished. It's my birthday today. It's almost like god went "you haven’t unlocked the Luigi's mansion fixation yet, come back in a year" :P
